  Thesis defense is over. It went well. I was nervous at first, but after the initial few minutes, I didn't really care. It was like running cross country back in high school. The most stressful moments were always the beginning. I always worried about getting a good start. After that, the rest became a walk in the park.

  My committee enjoyed my presentation and had very little criticism. Most of the criticism focused around cutting down time for my presentation since I went over the time limit by four minutes. The best part, by far, had to be the moment where my advisor told me "Jonathan, I didn't think you would get it done, but this was a very good presentation." "There were a lot of people in that boat with you." I responded. Oh ye of little faith. What she doesn't realize is that I was able to work on and finish that thesis in record time.

  The last few things that stand in my way of graduation are polishing my thesis, the second presentation to everyone (which is a joke), and little pieces of red tape.

  Good times.
